Summary

FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . .

Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.

Critic Reviews

"Addictive"
"Highly recommended"
"Great fun"
"Red-blooded fiction at its most seductive"
"Haig's very original spin on the [vampire] myth is insightful, frightening and uplifting"
"Delightfully eccentric . . . a strangely moving portrait of a marriage"
"Delightfully new and, unusually, rather English . . . An enjoyably twisty and self-aware tale"
"Haig writes in addictive, bitesize chapters that pump the action along . . . All vampire fiction has a strong sexual element, but in this book, the passion's not just for the pale-faced teens"
"Beautifully written . . . I just loved The Radleys" (JO BRAND)
"A sharp, bloody tale of abstinence and indulgence (and trying not to eat the neighbours)" (STEVEN HALL)

A great story. Interesting tale, different concept and an excellent ending. The narrator was great too!

A nice modern take on vampires but set in a modern village.

Had one looking forward to the next development.
Well rounded characters that developed and matured during the story.

Quirky story

Having read The Midnight Library, I had very high hopes for this book. Oh. My. God. This was so ridiculously bad, I can’t begin to describe it. Put it down and walk away, find another book, I implore you.
